The Power Stop KC6852 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on braking upgrade engineered for daily-driven cars, trucks, and SUVs. This all-inclusive kit delivers a significant step up in stopping performance over factory brakes by combining matched Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, and red powder coated calipers — everything needed for a fast, straightforward installation with no modifications required.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The proprietary Z23 compound reinforces a low-dust ceramic formula with carbon fibers to strengthen the pad and enhance heat dissipation versus traditional ceramic pads. Pad surfaces are thermally scorched during manufacturing to accelerate break-in and ensure consistent, quiet braking from day one. Dual-layer rubberized shims further reduce noise, while the chamfered and slotted pad geometry mirrors OEM design for a precise, rattle-free fit.
Drilled and Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Rotors are cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances, ensuring a true bolt-on fit. Precision-drilled holes maximize rotor cooling to keep brake temperatures down under demanding conditions, while rounded slots sweep away gases and debris to maintain a clean contact patch. Silver Zinc Dichromate plating protects the rotor surface from rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance and a sharp appearance behind open wheels.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion, extends caliper service life, and provides a bold, performance-inspired look visible through open-spoke wheels.
